Well just for the sake of argument. Evolutionist dont have any proof nor ever
will that we evolved. Were is this even logical? We all carry same
characteristic of our parents,dont see anyone developing bigger heads or
eyes. People are getting smarter in medicine and other technical fields. But
all physical attrubites are the same. Plus faith is something that is given to
him that believes, and wishes to receive it.
